Photography and Composition

Sometimes you see a photo and you are drawn to the way things work in the picture. Composition. I love the these pictures because they are of my children, but more than that, I find the pictures striking for the way they present the subject and surroundings.

The picture of Ace was a lucky shot (I think, I don't remember if I put that much thought into the picture when I took it) that I grabbed with my cell phone.

The picture of Little Dude was taken by a friend while Margo and I were out biking. Maybe that is why I love it. I keep returning to this picture to try to figure out what I love about it so I can file that in my mental picture taking reserves. Thanks Tory.

Some of my love of this is for sure capturing the subject at the right time. The look Small Monster has on his face is very grown up. Still, the way the picture is framed with the Lasalles in the background (window) and the colors working together the way they are, are fantastic.
